mine were only there a short time too they were taken in 7th November 1899 and sent to Canada 19th July 1900 but I do really want to find out more about them I dont think its right to charge £200 for sisters who would have the same info as they went together to Canada.
I am so looking forward to the photos do hope they arent a year coming.

somebody found one of my home childrens death in Canada and she lived to a remarkable 101 !!!!!
I am so thrilled to know this also Barnados rang me this morning to apologise as their system is being updated including the photo scanner so my photos will be on their way as soon as its up and running.
I thought it was nice of her to ring even if it was at 7.50 this morning.LOL

I'm glad you have had success.
My grandmother was went through the Catholic Emigration people.  I have no idea how to contact them, does anyone know of a website, address or phone number that I might try?

I thank you very much.  One of the addresses is within a half hour of my own home, I will try that one first.  Another is within less than two hours of home.

I wouldn't have thought so, - they're completely seperate organizations.

NCH & Barnados both had their own Children's Homes. However, I don't think there was anything to stop people approaching any organization for assistance in times of trouble...

In the case of my relatives, a neighbour of my G/Grandmother who had links to the NCH approached them on her behalf.

You could try writing to the NCH headquarters in Highbury, London N5 to ask them if they do hold any records on your relatives, - them you would know definately if they have anything.

Wow, thanks for that, Sandy! We don't always get to hear the views from the inside out...Were you treated well as we hear some bad stories?...I guess those who had a pretty normal life were less inclined to share...I woiuld hope that there was some humanity & decency in some of these institutions.

How interesting that there was payment per child. Odd that this is not widely known?

Welcome to the Canada board!  Grin

Hi Romilly, J.J eeyores4me and all reading this topic.

I regret all the hurt and abuse given to some children that were in the homes.
Some had this also at home.

J.J. thanks for the welcome you have helped me a lot before.  Smiley

To all hoping to gain access to records the very best of luck.

Sandy
